Class 378 in service
The concept is the same as DLR - i.e. the guard is in control of one
doorway (i.e. two door leaves that slide across). From what I saw today the guard stepped out on to the platform to ensure the other doors where clear before initiating the door close process. Once the other doors are closed he then steps into the train and closes the one remaining doorway where his control panel is. If you've seen what happens with DLR then you've seen what is happening with the 378s. Sorry for confusing doors with the bits that actually slide across the opening! Indeed, trains with guards are much slower at station stops than DOO services. So why don't we just tell the RMT to get stuffed, convert to DOO and keep the existing guards on board to check tickets and stuff. |
